Affordable Membership

Families that share religious life with their children are stronger. We want to make participation affordable. We welcome families of all sizes, ages and compositions, including ones whose members are progressing along a journey to learn about the Jewish faith. Women, as well as men, are encouraged to participate fully in daily, Shabbat and holiday services, including chanting aliyahs and Torah readings as well as leading Hebrew and English prayers. Part of our mission to serve our members involves providing an affordable dues structure, which offers savings to single-parent families and to enlisted military. Temple Israel is a member of the Union of Conservative Judaism and provides full services, twice daily and on all the holidays.

Membership categories include:

Individual or Family Membership

Single-Parent Family Membership

Enlisted Active Military Membership

Associate Membership (for full members in good standing of other area synagogues) includes the option of enrolling children in our Sunday Religious School.

Serving Those Who Serve

To honor those who serve our country, we offer reduced dues for active military enlisted families and individuals.

Our long-time links to the military involve many aspects of Temple life:

Our Outreach Volunteer Mark Solberg helps us welcome and accommodate the needs of military families new to the area.

When new children enter our school at any time of year, our professional teaching staff are particularly sensitive to their special needs until they feel at home here.

When active-duty military personnel find themselves in town over the Jewish holidays, away from family, we strive to include them in family settings, to enhance their enjoyment of the sacred days.

Over the years, it has been our privilege to send sets of prayer books to Navy vessels that need them for the conduct of Jewish worship. We are happy to entertain requests to put prayer texts into sailors’ hands.
